infrastructure projects such as the
MPCD. Within HHS, ASPE was tasked
with managing the MPCD project in
partnership with the Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The project represents a private/
public partnership with the goal of
consolidating access to longitudinal
data on health services financed by both
public and private payers to help
facilitate CER. Inclusion of data from
multiple sources should allow for
adequate coverage of priority patient
populations, less common medical
conditions, health care interventions,
and geographic areas. As the title of the
project suggests, the MPCD will initially
include claims data, since these data are
most readily available. Over time, data
with additional clinical detail from
other sources, such as EHRs, may be
incorporated into the database.
The contract to develop the MPCD is
a 3-year contract between Ingenix Public
Sector Solutions (as the primary
contractor) and ASPE. We envision
several types of respondents, accessing
data at different tiers within the MPCD,
as shown in the table below. The
respondents will not be accessing data
on any regular frequency, but rather on
an ad hoc basis. The affected public will
be individual researchers, health policy
analysts and researchers at affiliated
with MPCD data contributors as well as
key stakeholder staff and analysts
within HHS.

initiatives related to comparative
effectiveness research (CER) funded by
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Act
provided $1.1 billion to build the
necessary infrastructure and capacity to
support CER. Approximately 25% of the
$400 million allocated to the Office of
the Secretary for Health and Human
Services went towards data

Proposed Project: Teen Pregnancy
Prevention Replication Evaluation:
Implementation Data Collection—OMB
No. OS–0990–NEW—The Office of
Adolescent Health in collaboration with
the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation.
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent
Health (OAH), Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is overseeing and
coordinating adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation efforts as part of
the Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Initiative. OAH is working
collaboratively with the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE), the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation activities.
OAH in partnership with ASPE will
be overseeing the Teen Pregnancy
Prevention Replication Evaluation (TPP
Replication Evaluation). The TPP
Replication Evaluation will be an
experimental evaluation which will
determine the extent to which a subset
of evidence-based program models
funded as part of the OAH evidencebased Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Initiative demonstrate effects on
adolescent sexual risk behavior and
teenage pregnancy when they are
replicated in similar and in different
settings and for different populations.
The findings from this evaluation will
be of interest to the general public, to
policy-makers, and to organizations
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
OAH and ASPE are proposing
implementation data collection activity
as part of the TPP Replication
Evaluation. The proposed activity
involves the collection of information
from program records and site visits at
two to three points in the program
implementation period. The
implementation study will enable us to
understand the programs, document
their implementation and context,
assess fidelity of implementation and
the factors that influence it, and
describe the counterfactual, or the
‘‘business as usual’’ services received by
youth in the control group. This
information will enable us to describe
each implemented program and the
treatment-control contrast evaluated in
each site. It will also help us interpret
impact analysis findings and may help
explain any unexpected findings,
differences in impacts across programs,
and differences in impacts across
locations or population subgroups.
Respondents: Semi-structured
individual and group interviews will be
held with agency administrators,
program leaders and staff, partners in
program participation, participating
youths, school and community
stakeholders, and other community
members knowledgeable about related
services for adolescents. All information
will be collected by trained professional
staff.
